Love Of The Common People Lyrics - Indigo Girls

living on free food tickets 

there's water in the milk from the hole in the roof 

where the rain came in 

but what can you do 

well you got tears from your little sister 

crying cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch 

for the party to go 

oh but you know that she's gonna get by 

living in the love of the common people 

smiles from the heart of the family man 

daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to 

mama's gonna love you just as much as she can 

as she can 

oh yeah

and it's a good thing you don't have bus fare 

it would fall through the whole in your pocket 

and you'd lose it in the snow on the ground 

you better walk to town and find a job 

oh and you try to keep your hands warm 

the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through 

and it chills you to the bone 

you'd better go home where it's warm 

you can live in the love of the common people 

smiles from the heart of the family man 

daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to 

mama's gonna love you just as much as she can 

as she can 

oh yeah 

living on a dream ain't easy no 

but the closer the knit the tighter the fit 

and the chills stay away 

we like to keep them in stride for family pride

faith is your foundation 

got a whole lot of love and a long conversation 

but don't forget to pray oh no 

it's keeping us strong where we belong 

living in the love of the common people 

smiles from the heart of the family man 

daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to 

mama's gonna love you just as much as she can 

living in the love of the common people 

(you know that faith is your foundation) 

smiles from the heart of the family man 

(whole lot of love and a long conversation) 

daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to 

(don't forget to pray it's keeping us strong) 

mama's gonna love you just as much as she can 

(where we belong) 

living in the love of the common people 

(oh living on a dream ain't easy) 

smiles from the heart of the family man 

(but the closer the knit the tighter the fit) 

daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to 

(we like to keep them in stride) 

mama's gonna love you just as much as she can 

(for family pride) 

as she can
